I almost got in tears when I saw your video. I also studied at Tsinghua, I used to live at 21 building. Your video remind me the good times I spent at the university . Congratulations
Omg! Yeah, seeing the images of familiar places can be so emotional! I wish I could go back to that awesome year at Tsinghua. Crazy that you also lived at building 21!!! good times!
This comment made me smile
Which subject u were majoring in ?
@@user-yr4vp1jk7j She is from Australia.
I also studied abroad at Tsinghua! I spent a semester though, not as lucky as you two! I lived across the way, in building 19!
I am from New Zealand, I applied for Fudan University in Shanghai, I really hope I get in, so excited
thesuperproify congratulations 👍 Fudan University ist also such a good university.
Damn, one of the best, hope you get in.
Hope you get it!! I studied at Fudan for a year in 2014, its an amazing campus and you will have an awesome time there!!
I am from China,now working in Beijing. Your Chinese is really good!
Just checking in! Did you end up getting in to Fudan university???
Very lucky to be in one of the top universities in China.
the18Ting Lol, this is not one of the top, but the best uni without doubt in China.😂
@@禾-q8b 對，青華和北京大學。
季玉峰 ranked 17th in the world. Not top?
skitzmaker Sorry, my English is bad, I mean don’t need say “one of the top universities” because it’s the best without doubt 😂
Y Yes. Very easy. I can even exchange to Tsinghua without any difficulties
I was amongst those who were banging a ball against the wall.
That's cool :-)
me too.
I would advice you to not to bang your ball against the wall, good sir.

Riding a bike without a helmet as cars are zooming by right next to you, that's pretty normal in China. But doing that while recording a video and operating a camera with one hand, that's crossing the line a little.
hahahah
Helmets wont help if you get hit my a car, they're only their to protect the head if you fall off your bike by yourself.
Ben Withington It depends on how the car hit you. Sometimes a driver see bikers and hit the break right away, the car could come almost to a stop before it hits the biker.
ok, we did all sort of thing on bike in Tsinghua... a typical view, a girl sits on the front bar of the bike, and hold a cup of ice-cream or sth, and help her boyfriend to eat, while the lucky young guy is steering the bike. I pushed once to even further, with my sister sitting on the back.... :P so welcome.
Different from Australia, in China vehicles and bikes have separate lanes most of the time.
2019 and still enjoying your vids from then. Wish I was 40 years younger and could be where you are now. Aaah well, I have had the awesome pleasure of seeing China grow from a little village to a MEGA city! (metaphorically)
This is the single best university video I've ever seen. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you👌
As an overseas Chinese when i look at your 'text' book yet all written in Chinese, i almost fainted and admire your courage to take up Chinese language! Salute!
Loved this video. Had me in stitches a few times - a level sarcasm and humour that only an Aussie can manage.
Foreigners come to China always get looked after well in the uni, like accomodation and study....however, my fellow Chinese international students become the money making machine for Australian unis...
but anyway, i am so glad you enjoy and love the time in China, hope you share these to more Aussies, let them to know more about China, we are not world factory and 'evil' hostile country...
It's still west dominant world, what do you expect?
stop white worshiping
This girl comes from UNSW , dude, google it . She is awesome. Stop hate comments.
spark ww so what...
@@lilin3005 To some extent it doesn't matter even at Tsinghua and Fudan international students don't get much of an education. It certainly doesn't come to class to an average University in the west. Keep in mind I'm talking about the international program not actual University Chinese students go to. I would never study at an international program at a Chinese university considering I could always get a much better education in the states (unless it's something Chinese Literature, Chinese, or anything relating to Chinese culture).
The op has a point though I don't see any reason why International students shouldn't stay in the exact same rooms as Chinese students. But I'm not sure if the provincial governments would be okay with that. There might even be some Chinese students who might not be okay with being roommates with students from certain countries. People ask for something but is what they really want? It's certainly not what the central or even the provincial governments want. The psb doesn't want it either.
I studied in Tsinghua from 2015-17. I lived in 20 Building. Nice to see the flash back.
I love her enthusiasm, feels like I'm walking with a friend taking me around 😊😄😁
Memories.... I studied at Tsinghua 10 years ago. There's so much I forgot about like the canteen with escalators, c-lou. That road down to Wudaokou, doing the homework in a cafe. And that gym. Ha! I used to train there too.

I gave up each time thinking of 30min by walk just getting out of the campus.
Really excited I found your channel! I’m working to get my TEFL certificate so I can move to China after I graduate university!
Oh that would be awesome!! You're gonna love china
Welcome to China.I can teach you cantonese.🤗
I went to Tsinghua in 2017 for a one-semester exchange from Sydney. It is lovely to watch your videos! They bring back a lot of memories I had in Beijing. Miss the food and people there. Enjoy! :)
zhicong zheng Don’t you have better things to do in life? What a loser!!
hey i was there too in 2017!
Hello!! That sounds amazing! What did you study ??
Qing Hua also called Wu Dao Kou Technician School（五道口职业技术学院）。
I feel ur positive energy to hug the local culture
could you make a video about how you learned Chinese?
I'm currently learning it and I intend to go to China for my masters. I'd like to know if its possible and how you did it!
Good Luck!
Not easy mate..but you can
I am Chinese.Can I helpe you?
@@user-yr4vp1jk7j judging from ur name, aren u a chinese as well? (I might be wrong tho) nonetheless, china is one of the leading countries in the world rite now, they r not just some 'slant-eyed creatures' bro, so please dun be so narrow-minded, thinking that these 'yellow-skin' people r still the same as they used to be
@@zhekhai3147 judging by his channel, most probably an Indian who's trying to act like a Chinese to say stupid thing on the internet.
Loved this video! I'm an Australian born chinese living in Sydney. Been to Beijing a few times in my life to visit family. Went recently this year in May. Beijing changes soo much everytime I visit. Hope you upload more videos!!
Awesome! So true, Beijing and other Chinese cities are changing so quickly. I find it so funny walking down the street and seeing a new shop open that wasn't there 2 days before. Crazy! I will keep uploading! Hope you enjoy it
graduated 5 years ago and now leaving abroad... I miss the campus so much 😭 the canteens omg
the green chopsticks 😭😭😭
Thank you so much for this video✌🏼 I will be beginning my Master in Tsunghua U. In September & I look forward having as much fun as you do😁
awesome! You're gonna love Tsinghua!
I was in Tsinghua for an exchange program in 2018, this brings back so many memories!
最后这俩哥们太秀了，气氛突然比利起来了。播主你有双发现基情的眼睛。
Lived in that neighborhood for 7 years, I missed it so much after watching your video.
My buddy, you must be from Peking university.
THU!!! So famous university in the world! You're so lucky
bring my memory back when im in beijing one year ago ,thank you.
Wow, it is one of the best Uni in China. Congrats
Fun! I know this is a little old, but it’s one of my favorites out of the handful of your videos I’ve enjoyed so far. Thanks for sharing your life and adventures like this!
The same environment where i was 3 years back while doing my mbbs,proud of my university
再往前走一点就是我的母校，北京科技大学。以前每周和室友去逛几次五道口。好怀念。

Wow I'm currently on a 2-week study programme at Tsinghua and this is the most relatable thing!
I'm currently in class 10. Let's hope I can get into tsinghua one day. I literally love Chinese language and I can't wait to study it as my main subject and live my life.
You need to work really hard and better good at math and science. The life time experiences you will never regret, as you will study with talented guys from 1.4bn ppl in a great campus in a capital city of the future heart of the world! Good luck! Go for it!
Tsinghua is really easy to get in if your a foreigner. As long as you past the English and Chinese exam you get in.
@@blubears western, European as long as your not from asia. Because China really like foreigners from different countries. They even hire white people to act as if they work in a company for meetings.
I heard about this too. My grandma is from Beijing and she told me about this. There was an upperclassmen that graduated my highschool that got into Tsinghua purely from the fact they were black and from America
Oh boy my dream is to do my phd in China i will try to do it even if it's competitive but if i don't get in i am considering one year of chinese language😅 I recently found your channel and this inspire me more to persue my goals, thank you!❤️
Korean？
Lucky girl, congratulations. It was my dream when I was a student, I haven’t achieved, now it is my daughter’s dream.
I love the canteen in China, when i just moved to Sydney high school，everyday I was hungry😂. I wish my son's primary school have that kind of canteen.
I wanted to say i might go there in December if i can take out a loan and i literally am so excited. Watching this, your videos makes me want to cry and my heart feels like it will explode. Your videos are literally my favorite ever and please keep making videos. Idk what it is about it but they are all so good beautiful and make me happy. Thank you
i laughed when i heard the man oh oh
China has 1.4 billion people now, in the 1st day of 2020. Keep up Amy fan!
2:22 "the koREANS" I called it lmao
Best university in world for undergraduate.
The way Amy says '早....' you took my heart! Beautiful way to wake up!
hahah aawww! Glad you liked it!
Can we have a video on a foreigner studying in china? I think it’s a different diploma we get? And a lot different than local kids getting in? I would love to learn more about it and how you feel about studying here
I studied at 北京语言大学 and went to 五道口 everyday for lunch too. I lived like a block from the huge mall there. So funny to watch your video!
在我学校的对面...毕业以后十年没去过了，不知道还是不是好多韩国人...
as someone who's native Chinese your pronunciation is almost 100% 标准 props to you🙌
Thanks. You video reminds me of the day I had been in THU. Wish you a happy time in China！

Hahahahahah I'm glad you like it too!!! Such character everywhere you look
I like your video and going on exchange is the best experience ever in life! I love tea and I also love your way of talking in front of the camera- approachable, easygoing and positive! blessings to you!
Love your videos!!!
My 5 year old saw you and your classmates using chopsticks for lunch and she asked to use a pair of chopsticks for dinner!!! 👍🏻
Do you have to know like a certain level of mandarin before studying there? planning to study mandarin in a chinese school
Trust The Vision from what I heard you only need to know enough to pass the test which is basically made for foreigners learning it as a second language
Was That the coffee Bean tree you went to?? I was in Beijing 10 years ago, beside bridge cafe (does it still exist??) it was my favorite coffee shop in wudaokou. So a throw back for me!!
I really miss my days at Tsinghua...The C building, the canteen, the food...
Ahhhh the good ol' C building!!! I heard from a friend that they have now moved classes out of the C building! Its now in a building on the other side of campus!!
Feeling very nostalgic about China, the bicycle sharing apps, c building, even the smell of the sewers as I watch your video Amy!
2nd best university in the geographical asia, millions of people cant get in there even with working their asses off, lucky girl, good luck
What a champ Aussie girl, funny and nice, when she said I cleaned it for you and then show the untidy room I lost it
2020 , still your vlog is my fav❣️
That gym guy killed me ! lmao
I wonder what did you get in SAT to get in tinghua?
Very comprehensive description of Tsinghua U and it's environs. I hope you have completed your studies. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors from Guyana.
Thank you for sharing this. Congratulations!
“Take that Peking Univ.” LOL. I'm from PKU and 五道口 is a magical place.

Hello blondie :D Please tell me about university master program.Because ı want be academician in Turkey.
储存茶叶的方法也太可怕了，完全不懂茶。茶叶容器需要避光，玻璃瓶放茶叶简直外行到家了，一般茶叶容器都是陶瓷罐和锡铁罐。其中高山乌龙和包种茶之类的都属于清香型乌龙，可以放进冰箱保鲜。而且茶叶的量太多，很多都是不能久放的茶，可能没喝完都过了赏味期。
清香乌龙放冰箱太容易返青了，直接不透明罐子避光阴凉处储存就好了
good university i go there for experimental work.
i am student at xi'an jiatong university right now
0:51 right when I saw that I thought, "THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA IS HERE ON TOP THIS BIIIIIIIKE"
hahahhahahahahhaahah
I’m in UK and I miss the inexpensive Chinese takeaway sooooooooooo much.
I enjoyed going to those places to get work done at Starbucks.
love that dig at PKU
I remember I was accepted into a master program at Shingua University, but i left it to travel to Australia. No regrets, just curiosity of how it is. Thanks for sharing this video.
I went to boarding school in Beijing last year at a school that was 99.999999% Chinese students. Not the best experience due to some discrimination by some people, but I still love China. For foreigners, Pinnacle Plaza and Shine Hills are two good places to get imported foods or find international stores/restaurants. Blue frog at Shine Hills serves the best burgers on the planet. Better than any burger in the world I swear.
Thanks for sharing your experience Caitlin!!
Hi. I would like to apply to Tsinghua for my Master's and I've visited their website that stated no necessity to learn Mandarin if I take a course in English. Of course, I would have to learn the language to communicate and I'm willing to do so, but is it necessary to have a certain level of proficiency even if I take a course in English? Also, I would love to connect with a native speaker in order to help grasp the tones. Thank you!
that dude in the gym was hilarious, almost like he knew you were filming lol
Omg I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I really want to go to China or Taiwan to be more fluent with my Chinese. At first, I was planning to take a year course let’s say business, but then I thought should I do a course that is focus on Chinese? Any advice? Your Chinese is so good! Is your course Chinese or like a different course/major and being able to absorb the Chinese language is automatic already? 😅 I was wondering whether I can take a business course then at the same time learn chinese?
I hope I make sense, just really need the advice!
3:50-4:00 is the best part.
the man looking into her camera at 6:56 I'm crying xD
"Culturally relevant, intellectual tv"😂 lmao that scene is hilarious
这么多年还是这种教室。中国大学的建筑物都很宏伟，但是里面的设施太差，不知什么时候才能赶上发达国家。
The OP is also a foreigner. She and Overseas Chinese people have the foreign nationality/citizenship privilege.
To the locals there, it is a different ballpark.
Of course, for natives and foreigners alike, they have to pay the tuition fee.
I am actually glad that my family has moved out of China when I was younger. Dad wanted to stay and work in China. Mom wanted to leave. So, Dad followed Mom's wishes and contacted various professors from various universities all over the world, and found a job in the US. I had my entire education in the USA, and I take great pride in my education and upbringing. The Chinese education system (and I think, South Korea and Japan and Taiwan as well) is extremely competitive. People generally go for the top schools in China or attend foreign schools overseas. The children of rich people may not make it into the top schools for various reasons (ethnic minorities preference, foreigner preference, etc.), but their parents may send the kids abroad to obtain an education, and the smart ones may return to China to work (in the past, the smart ones may actually stay in the country and settle there because the living conditions are always better than that in China). Meanwhile, the not-so-smart ones just waste their parents' money and their own personal time in college.

Thank you for sharing! I've been quite curious about what studying in China, and this helped quite a bit! What's your major...? Also, how hard is it to get in?
Hey Tiffany! So sorry I just saw this comment! I was studying an intensive language course at Tsinghua and if you are a foreigner it is SO EASY to get in. The Chinese government hand out scholarships like candy to foreigners so take advantage of it, try get yourself a scholarship and study in China for a year! I did my bachelors in Australia so my time at Tsinghua was purely focused on language learning. If you try get into Tsinghua for a university degree (like a bachelors, masters, pHd etc...) it is SIGNIFICANTLY harder. Tsinghua is the top university in China and is ultra super competitive to get into. So for me, a language course was the perfect way to get to experience a top tier Chinese university with low pressure and high fun times!
Hi, for language courses do I have to know Chinese prior to applying to tsinghua ? and should I apply thro my home school or directly through the Chinese university’s
@@BlondieinChina I'm actually looking to take the same route for next year. Did you just take a break from an unrelated major you were pursuing? I'd be basically taking a break from my physics major for a year, so I was wondering if you did that same, or if your major was related to the language courses you took at Tsinghua. I'm also curious why you chose to do it? Did you just want to have a unique experience that year?
How did you apply to a chinese university?
Luke F she won a scholarship from a Chinese dating show she participated in, not sure if you wanna go through all of that thought😂😂
Don't have coffee in the Tsinghua's lib?
Nice video! I'm studying at Nankai University in Tianjin right now :D
People say Tianjin is so boring. What do you think?
@@Sun-wr1oz Don`t think so!
Tsinghua is my dream university, ever since I was in grade 5 I wanted to go there, I’m in grade 10 now and wanting to study science and technology in Tsinghua University.
I have a question do u get put with other international students or u just happen to have them in ur class. Bc im a gr 11 student in Canada rn and my mom really wants me to either go to Peking uni or tsinghua and i dont know much Chinese and not familiar with china and im really scared
Yep! so when you study chinese at a chinese university as a foreigner, you will be surrounded with international students. You will live in the foreign student dorms, have classes with them, its actually quite difficult to make some chinese friends! So don't be scared about going to China, its probably the most international place you can go on exchange to. You will meet people from all around the world, and have an amazing, social, international experience. But of course, to improve your chinese, try make some chinese friends too! Join some sports clubs or something, and it will make your trip to china so worthwhile. You will love China, trust me! Go for it :)
Blondie in China
Im not going there as an exchange student tho thats why im scared. Im born in china but im raised in Canada and now my mom wants me to go back to china and actually stay as like a normal student. Im just not sure if i want to go bc i will have to study in Chinese and im not sure what program they have in Tsinghua university
@Luqaimat it's true
@@kawaiicandy9510 In my province, barely 200 out of 700,000 students could make their way to PKU or Tsinghua Uni.
Hope you can accept that challenge to study there.
did you get in?
Hi Amy, I just came across this old video of yours. Just wondering if you had one when you were graduating. Saw some videos of graduation ceremonies in China where students really had a blast celebrating and enjoying themselves singing in the halls, with concert like atmosphere
Alumni!!! I lived in the 4th building just across the street from C building from 2008-2012!
In America, you don’t get a bike lane that wide! I was shocked when I saw how wide the lane was. You only get the width of one and the half average human being as the bike lane, and some don’t even have a bike lane.
Used to hang out in 五道口. Still go there for a CS meeting occasionally
五道口 translates to five way mouth.
@@ilikebroccoliandmorebrocco1481 nah, it should be Wudaokou. Plus I hate broccoli for worms
Broccoli... for worms?
Great video! What camera do you use to record this video?
Cheers from Shanghai :)
How old were you when you were at the university? I'm currently 28 and I'm thinking to get a 1 year chinese university course. Would you recommend still? Thanks!
tbh, compared with Chinese (local students), u guys(non-Chinese) are much easier to get in. btw, if u are interested in our famous schools, u can go to the relative websites to check the standards. Good luck!
Luckkkyyyyy. That’s Chinas top elite college
why people still use the OLD names for these 2 Universities: Tsinghua vs Qinghua, Peking vs Beijing
It's the universities themselves who make the decision.
I guess Tsinghua and Peking are sort of pronunciation in English while Qinghua and Beijing are in Chinese Pinyin. Both ways are still useful for English and Mandarin speakers.
@@HarmonyPeacelife Until the 1950s the English words for Chinese names used a different writing system (like Peking or Canton). After the 1950s this system changed in China and the west (to Beijing and Guangzhou).
But 北大 and 清华 prefer to use the old names when advertising to foreigners in English, because it gives them more of a "historical" feel.
It's not people using the wrong name, it's what the universities call themselves.
Hazdude Wow! Good to know about the history! Thank you for sharing ☺️👍🏻
I’m your typical ABC, the one that can’t read or write chinese and I’m mad at myself for not paying attention in chinese school
